Bottled 330ml. -from Spar Slovenske Konjice. Unclear golden coloured, medium sized airy off-white head, dusty caramelish nose. Weak malty, dry caramel, notes of grass and touch of herbs with rather short finish.

Pours slightly hazy amber colour, topped with a lasting white foamy head. Citrusy nose, pretty nice but taken over by freshly baked bread nose. Taste follows, medium bitterness with citrusy presence. Lasting aftertaste. Light body. Not bad or anything, just the citrusy character fades away way to soon, both in the aroma and taste.

0.33 l bottle. Pours golden, slightly hazy with a finger of dense lasting off white head. Aroma is malty, caramel with herbal and flowery hop notes, a bit soapy. Taste is medium sweet, medium bitter. Body is light to medium, texture is slick, carbonation average. Finish is medium, mainly herbal and soapy fades to mellow light bitterness with some caramel in the background. Decent base, but way too soapy, hence low palate rate.

Bottle, 0.33l. Clear copper pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Medium retention, good lacing. Nose is grassy and herbal, good hop character, some candy-like notes. Thin body, medium to high carbonation. Light texture, prickly mouthfeel. Moderately bitter taste. Aroma is a bit watered down, simple and straightforward. Grassy, herbal, some citrus fruits. Grainy, dusty aftertaste. Peppery. Dry bitter finish. Overall, drinkable but mediocre. Probably the best effort under the Pittinger label but seriously overpriced. 2€ for 0.33l bottle? Errrrr, thanks, but no thanks. Pittinger beers should be cheaper, there's no real reason to choose this over more "serious" craft beers when the price difference is like... 20cents? Or when for 2,50€ you can get the likes of Hopsbrew Oatmeal Stout with Vanilla which is quite awesome AND 0.5l. Oh well.

Die Marke "S Budget", die mit einem singendem rotem Geldbörserl wirbt, ist eine Billig-Markenlinie von "Spar", einer österreichischen Supermarktkette, welche auch in vielen Ländern Osteuropas vertreten ist. Das S Budget-Bier wird in Ungarn, Slowenien und Kroatien gebraut und verkauft. Standesgemäß habe ich es in einer 2l-Plastikflasche im Spar-Supermarkt in Maribor gekauft. Für 1,20 € für zwei Liter war es echt ein Schnäppchen. Dafür bekommt man ein gar nicht so schlechtes, aber logischerweise nicht herausragendes, helles Bier. Für eine Studentenfete fände ich es gar nicht so schlecht. Einem wahren Bierfreud sollte man es aber nicht vorsetzen.

Pours a clear golden color, topped with average white frothy head. Malty aroma as well as some grains. The taste starts sweet, watery body with a tiny bitterness in the finish. Nothing special.

Bottle. A light yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and so is the flavor, while the body is thin.

Bottled, 0.50l. Pours clear pale golden color with large frothy white head. Aroma is grassy, grainy, papery and a bit skunky. Taste starts with mild maltiness and cooked vegetables, while followed sour grainy. Mouthfeel is dry, finish is mild bitter. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Better avoid it...

05/08 0.5 l bottle from Spar at BTC, Ljubljana. Poured pale golden body with medium sized head. Strange artificial malty aroma with some citrus and grass hops.. Flavor...nothing actually in it a bit soapy, some grain and that’s it. Tastes like a bit strange water so don’t have nothing to write more. Pretty damn bad beer reminding of that brewed for Mercator supermarket.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy who brought it from Slovenia (thanks!) Pale yellow-gold body, medium-small white head that went away somewhat slowly. Weak oily and dusty hop nose. Empty, very eggy taste, somewhat grainy. Resiny, dry weak hop giving some lemon. And there’s eggs/sulphur again. Crap and I feel like I’m overrating it.
